Remember this is a "GT".. I think this is pretty da*n good for what the car is worth. Plus the amount to mod the car. I see 700 RWHP mustangs in the near future.

Honestly, I can see this motor being pretty awesome. But i dont think its going to be the holy grail that we all thought it was going to be...i mean it does already have high compression and when you drop that compression to boost friendly, its gonna be a drop in power. But i can see with the heads and displacement, i can see 700rwhp being a lot easier now than it used to be. Put a twin screw on there with ported heads and cams and you got a car that will run like a raped ape.

Why have a blower? Nitrous is perfect for this car.. It was built from ford to be fed by NITROUS. Why cut the car up?

Because the pistons are still not forged...and that kinda power with pistons that arent forged is not such a great idea...if you get what im saying. You spray that much with those pistons, not gonna be pretty. I mean you dont see anyone running 500rwhp+ with stock cast pistons, for good reason. Plus i'd want the power there all the time, not some of the time. Just personal preference really. This motor with turbo(s) would be BADA$$!!!
